Emacs project on Savannah

Emacs project on Savannah

[Eli Zaretskii]

Following Savannah coming up on line, I've reviewed all the privileges
of the Emacs developers and updated the database.  Please tell me if
you have any trouble with Emacs CVS.

Note that I myself did not yet succeed in establishing SSHv2 access to
savannah, so if you have the same problem, it might be something wrong
with savannah setup per se, not with your access rights (if you do
succeed in gaining write access to CVS, please tell me how you did
that).

I've just recovered the write access to CVS.  I did the
followings.

(1) Visit http://savannhah.gnu.org
(2) Click "Login via SSL".
(3) Click "[Lost your password?]
(4) Enter my login name "handa" and click "Send Lost PW Hash".
(5) Receive a mail from savannah-hackers@gnu.org.  Visit the
    URL specified in the mail.
(6) Type my new password.
(7) Visit http://savannhah.gnu.org
(8) Click "Login via SSL".
(9) Enter login name and password and click "Login".
(10) Click "My Account Conf"
(11) Click "Enter the 1 SSH Public key(s) Registered.
(12) Enter the contents of my ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub in the box, and
     click "Update".

After a few minutes, I got a write access to CVS, and I
commited changes in lisp/mule-cmds.el and
lisp/ucs-tables.el.

I had to do an extra step, otherwise CVS choked on the SSH output:

(13) "ssh cvs.gnu.org" and answer yes to the server fingerprint
     question.

Ah, yes.  I actually deleted an entry for savannah in my
~/.ssh/known_hosts and did this in my working directory:
% cvs status -v ChangeLog
and answered yes.

Thanks for the info.  It seems like my troubles were due to some
problem in savannah's setup, which is fixed now.

I did the same, but I still can't access the CVS (the same is true for
the other projects).  Some notes:

  . I haven't registered a SSH Public Key before, so it was the first
    time.  Does this matter?

  . Something strange is happening on 

      https://savannah.gnu.org/project/memberlist.php?group=emacs

    I'm the only account (wl) which has `--' instead of `Watch Him'.

  . Which password shall I use while doing e.g. `cvs update'?  The
    password specified during the call to ssh-keygen?

How were you able to use CVS before?  You need a version of OpenSSH
that supports protocol 2 (note that ssh2 has a _different_
protocol).  You also have to use protocol 2 by default, so if you
have a manual protocol 1 override in your .ssh/config file as was
needed previously, you have to remove it.

You must not use any password at all (that is a fallback attempt if
the public key authentication fails, and the fallback will surely fail
since Savannah allows only public key).  If your key was generated
with a passphrase (mainly mandatory when your secret key is stored on
a machine for which you have not sole access), then you'll want to use
the ssh-agent for password entry.

Kerberos.  Anyway, I've found my error.  Thanks for the help.  It
works now.

Nothing strange here: every member of the developers' group, when
he/she logs in to Savannah, sees his/her own entry as `---' instead of
`Watch Him', since (obviously) you cannot ``watch'' (i.e. be a backup
maintainer) for yourself.  See the explanations of what `watching'
means on that page.

It works fine for me, but my changes show up (in cvs log) as being from
`uid65618', not `miles' as before.

Yes, that seems to be the problem with everyone.  savannah-hackers
were CC'd on the first message that reported this; I'm waiting for
them to investigate.

The FSF sysadmins will have to handle this as they put up the chroot
environment.

Thanks.
